While a resume gives an overview of your skills and experience, a cover letter gives you the chance to introduce yourself to the hiring manager and present the reasons why you’re the ideal candidate to the job.

In highlighting the ways your skills correspond to the requirements of the position, you’ll improve your chances of getting an interview.
  • In response to any concerns that might arise: Cover letters allow you to address any potential concerns that the manager who is hiring you might have regarding your skills. For example, if have a gap in your career or lack experience in a certain area and you want to justify why this isn’t a problem and what other skills can make more up for it.
  • Helping you stand out A well-written cover letter can help you stand out other applicants. By adapting your cover letter to the particular job and business, you can show that you’ve done your research and you know what the business is looking for.

I ordered the Gold Package which was a Resume and Cover letter. I would honestly rate it an easy 10/10. Not only was the resume and cover letter perfect but the Customer Service is what really blew me away. Literally a few minutes after making the order I was contacted and a resume plan was formulated. Thank You Tanja :)
